What it is Filled

July 6, day 187 (day 188 in leap years) of the year in the Gregorian calendar, with 178 days remaining in both common and leap years. July 6 is Independence Day in Malawi marking 1964 and in the Comoros marking 1975, Statehood Day in Lithuania marking the coronation of Mindaugas traditionally dated to July 6, 1253 in the Julian calendar, the anniversary of the execution of Thomas More on July 6, 1535 in the Julian calendar, of the burning of Jan Hus at the Council of Constance on July 6, 1415 in the Julian calendar, of Louis Pasteur s first rabies vaccination in 1885 and of the birth of the 14th Dalai Lama in 1935; the modern Gregorian observances retain these historical July 6 labels rather than converting the Julian dates to Gregorian equivalents.
